Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a frequently occurring endocrine disorder in felines, and the impact of magnesium deficiency on the incidence of diabetes and related complications has garnered significant interest in the realm of human research. Our objective was to investigate the levels of magnesium present in the serum of cats with pre-diabetes and diabetes. Although magnesium levels in pre-diabetic and healthy cats did not exhibit a significant statistical difference, a notable contrast was evident in diabetic cats in this study. Specifically, diabetic cats exhibited considerably lower magnesium levels in comparison to non-diabetic felines. In conclusion it should not be unwise to draw preliminary conclusion that magnesium levels should have helped better understanding molecular insight and consequences in both pre-diabetic and diabetic cats. If necessary, as evidenced by hypomagnesemia also at this study, dietary supplementation should be considered.
